Popular Pittsburgh Bar Closes Permanently
The bar had hosted live music for two decades.
PITTSBURGH, PA - Howlers, a Bloomfield staple that hosted live music for two decades, will not reopen when the state stay-at-home order is lifted.
Owner Susan Coe previously announced that the bar would close in August as she scouted the East End for a new venue. But Coe posted on the bar's Facebook page over the weekend that the Liberty Avenue nightspot is no more.
"With the current challenges we are facing as a result of COVID-19 closures, the difficult decision has been made to close Howlers permanently. Plans for a final summer of fun here in Bloomfield just cannot happen.
